Digital Life Certificate for pensioner
A biometrically enabled digital service for pensioners is called a “Digital Life Certificate” (Jeevan Pramaan). This facility is available to pensioners of the central government, state governments, Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation, and any other government entity whose pension disbursing institution is operational for DLC. To submit a life certificate, they do not need to go to the disbursing agency’s office; instead, they can generate DLC using the Aadhaar-enabled biometric identification system.
What is the fee charged for generating DLC
For every successful generation of DLC, a nominal fee of Rs. 70 (inclusive of GST/ CESS) will be charged.
